MEMORIZE Chapter 820

00820 Bottomless pit of death. ————————————————– ———————-=

After going down the stairs, the expedition immediately resumed exploration.

The second basement floor was so intertwined that it resembled an anthill. The passage was narrow, but the space was so crowded that if you made a mistake, you were likely to get lost.

As soon as we left the entrance, the trap began to activate in earnest. It wasn’t some crude trick, such as an arrow suddenly flying or a stone rolling in. While passing through the passage, the path suddenly became narrow enough to touch the wall, and in one space, as soon as you entered, sharp spears appeared throughout the room.

One time, the wizards took a break to replenish their lost magic power, but as soon as they sat down, the entire floor collapsed. If Kim Soo-hyun hadn’t caught her quickly, Kim Han-byul might have become a lost child. In the end, there was something laughable about having to run away and rest while standing.

Is this all? Whether I was walking or resting, a crunching sound, like an insect with many legs moving, kept scratching my ears. We stopped the march several times and closely inspected the surroundings, but when we did that, their presence disappeared like a ghost.

As this happened repeatedly, the clan members’ nerves became much more sensitive. They didn’t even know where they were walking. Once inside the ruins, the concept of distinguishing between day and night has disappeared, and you can just walk, relying on the three or four spheres that light up the darkness. It was following Kim Soo-hyun, who was leading the expedition, like a machine.

If there is one or two things of consolation, it is that the noise that was echoing from the wall has disappeared. And thanks to someone else’s actions, they began to see the traps lurking everywhere.

That someone was none other than the source. As the frequency of the appearance of traps gradually increased, we began to actively use the ‘BattleField Analysis’ introduced on the first basement floor. Battlefield analysis is an ability based on ‘ultra information aggregate’, which is different from the wizard’s ‘construction of a magic camp’. In other words, it is safe to say that it is the original ability.

Of course, it cannot be considered omnipotent. I don’t know if it’s 100% like it used to be in the astral dimension. Currently, the output that the source can produce at its maximum is less than 40%. That was the extent of the output obtained by absorbing the knowledge of the ancient magic city of Magia and recovering it with the Flower Witch set. The trap regarding the exceptional 60% was not properly recognized. In other words, it is proof that the wizards who built this bottomless pit in the distant past were possessors of such outstanding knowledge.

Jump, jump, jump.

The sound of one step after another echoes through the dark passage. Her steps are extremely heavy, as if she has a thousand pounds of weight tied to her feet. In fact, the clan members’ shoulders were slightly slumped and shuffling sounds could be heard occasionally. After walking for more than half a day on a road where dust was piled up and there were many holes here and there, I was starting to get tired. In addition, the intermittent noise and gloomy atmosphere put pressure on the mind without knowing it, and the magicians had to maintain light magic for several hours, so their stamina wasted much more.

While walking along the endless road, the leader’s steps suddenly slowed down a little. Eventually, when Kim Soo-hyun’s feet came to a complete stop, a huge iron gate appeared in front of the expedition team. The surface is covered with a mixture of red and green rust, and it is tightly closed as if it has never been opened for a long time. Kim Soo-hyun carefully examined the iron door. As if he hadn’t found anything strange, he immediately put his hands together and pushed hard. The iron gate screamed.

Kigging, Kigigigging! The iron door opened with an unpleasant noise, revealing a room. The space, which was about 100 meters wide and 200 meters long, was unusually hollow on both sides except for the center. It was as if one of the bowling alley rails had been enlarged and moved. The left and right exterior walls and ceiling are blocked by a large wall that is not made of dirt, but there is nothing written on the surface. At the end of the road, there was a door leading to the next passage. They said that one way or another, I had to pass in the end.

Of course, no one said, ‘Okay! It’s a rush!’ The atrocity called was not committed. Because there are already too many losses to cross without any suspicion. I just look at him with tired eyes, sighing like a sigh.

“What kind of room is this again…?” .”

Kim Soo-hyun bent down while listening to someone muttering. He grabbed a handful of dirt from the floor and kneaded it into a tight ball. Then he looked ahead and threw as hard as he could. It was that moment.

Wooooow!

Suddenly, a red light leaked from the ceiling and a burning heat came through. The next moment, the lump of dirt could not fly even 5 meters and melted in an instant. It disappeared without a trace. Kim Soo-hyun stared into the room with indifferent eyes, while the rest did the same, frowning or raising their eyes.

After a while, some eyes focused on one place. Instead of using battlefield analysis right away like always, the source pursed its mouth.

“It’s just one time.”

“… … .”

“I can only use battlefield analysis here and now. Because there isn’t enough horsepower.”

“Hmm.”

Kim Soo-hyun nodded his head. Geunwon, who accepted this as permission, quickly muttered a spell in his mouth. Soon, the robe flutters in the strong wind, and two beautiful eyes stare intently at the wall and ceiling.

“… A total of forty-four permanent magic formations have been identified. It has a structure that is tightly interlocked one by one, and the entire structure appears to be carved as a dragon trying to exterminate intruders. “They are activated sequentially as soon as you take a single step, and some of them have a form that I am not familiar with.”

After the long explanation, the clan members fell silent as if they had made a promise. The source’s words were the same as saying that there were 44 wizards in the room. It also emits magic infinitely without waiting time. Of course, it would be worth trying if it was a magic like ‘Magic Missile’, but that was absolutely impossible.

“… “What should I do?”

“Ugh, maybe I should have brought Hangyeol.”

“First, put up a protective shield where you can… .”

“Everyone, around me.”

As we were exchanging opinions in confusion, a strong voice suddenly woke everyone up.

Kim Soo-hyun looked at the clan members with calm eyes and opened his mouth.

“The numbers fit perfectly. First, let’s make sure the melee class embraces the wizard.”

“… ah!”

Jegal Haesol, whose head turns quickly, exclaimed in exclamation. Clan members who participated in the ‘Glacier Snowfield’ expedition immediately realized the intention. The whispering continued for a while, and then suddenly a strange current began to flow. Kim Soo-hyun moved his eyes slowly. All you have to do is just hug each other, but suddenly eight women gather in a circle and look at each other.

Kim Han-byeol, who was lightly loosening his hands, suddenly looked to the side and frowned his left eye.

“Yujeong unnie?”

“huh.”

“Aren’t you a melee type?”

“huh.”

“Lee Yu-jeong. “Don’t joke around.”

“… yes.”

Go Yeon-ju’s eyes were strained with a stern expression. This was difficult for her to ignore, and Lee Yu-jeong took a quick step forward, but she soon looked at her with eyes that felt unfair. However, Go Yeon-ju didn’t care at all and raised his hand high in the sky.

“ruler. Then shall we give it a try? Rock Paper Scissors!”

Go Yeon-joo lowered her hand vigorously. It was scissors. However, except for Ko Yeon-ju, Nam Da-eun, and Im Hanna, no one raised a hand. All I can do is just stare in silence. This is a silent clamor.

Go Yeon-ju smiled and raised her hand again.

“Okay then… .”

“Go Yeon-ju. “Don’t play around.”

At that moment, a fiery cry like frost fell. Go Yeon-ju clicked her tongue and retreated, and Nam Da-eun and Im Hanna also looked sullen. While Lee Yu-jeong made a grumpy expression, the hands of the four remaining women finally rose to the sky.

“Rock Paper Scissors!”

And at the same time the hand is lowered,

“I won! “I won!”

Loud cheers followed.

“Uhehehe.”

Vivian was jumping up and down in joy and then quickly fell into Kim Soo-hyun’s arms. He tosses and turns his body like a child, and when Kim Soo-hyun’s left hand supports his buttocks, he lets out a satisfied moan and smiles broadly. Soon, while Kim Soo-hyun was quietly playing with her Vivian’s buttocks, the women with their shoulders slumped began to look for her partner one by one.

After a long time, silence came again. Geunwon was hugged by Lee Yu-jeong, Jeong Ha-yeon was hugged by Ko Yeon-ju, Kim Han-byeol was hugged by Nam Da-eun, and Jegal Hae-sol was hugged by Im Hanna. Jin Su-hyeon stood alone with a gloomy face. After confirming that preparations were complete, Kim Soo-hyun quietly looked ahead.

“then.”

Ugh!

As soon as Kim Soo-hyun opened his mouth, a red curtain burst out from his arms and surrounded the clan members. The protective fortress of Gehenna was activated. Although it certainly boasts tremendous defensive power, it has the disadvantage of extreme magical power consumption. Just by simply maintaining it, magic power disappears at an exponential rate. Needless to say, when defending against external attacks.

Kim Soo-hyun, who knew that well, bent his knees. Someone took a deep breath.

“I will go.”

Soon, the sound of kicking the ground was heard at the same time. Six people finally entered the door.

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Cheeeeeeeee!

A red light flashed. My vision turned red. The room quickly became hot due to the heat radiating from the ceiling. If there had been no curtain, it would have quickly been swallowed by the heat and melted.

When we passed 100 meters, a blue light suddenly flashed. This time, hoarfrost began to form in my vision. Perhaps because it heated up and then cooled down so quickly, the dirt road cracked sharply.

Then a yellow light flashed. Now it was down to a downpour. A torrential rain of magic, a mixture of heat, cold, and lightning, pounded the red curtain. However, Gusul was firmly defended without wavering, befitting its reputation as a fortress, and the expedition team only focused on running forward unconditionally. Meanwhile, I was able to reach almost the end of the road.

“I’ll open it!”

Jin Soo-hyeon, who was not present, moved to the very front of the tent. And as soon as he reached the end, he ran and pushed the door open with all his might. At that moment, he paused for a moment and started pulling hard on the street gate. However, no matter how hard they tried, the heavy iron gate would not budge. For a split second, it seemed as if light had passed through the top of the door.

Jin Soo-hyeon turned around with a puzzled face and shouted.

“Wha, the door won’t open!”

“What are you talking about!”

Lee Yu-jeong, who quickly put down the root, ran as if he was flying and threw a kick.

however.

“Aaaah!”

Lee Yu-jeong fell with a thud and rolled around on the dirt floor. If Go Yeon-joo hadn’t quickly blocked her with his foot, she might have been thrown out.

“The door won’t open… ?”

Lee Yoo-jeong, who had barely come to her senses, muttered in a dazed voice. Then she suddenly came to her senses and tilted her head back. Her room was so full of magic that she couldn’t even see an inch in front of her. Is that why? The red curtain began to make a trembling sound.

Ha-yeon Jeong gritted her teeth and screamed.

“door! “I just saw Jin’s image at the door!”

“Damn, there was a spell on the door too?”

Just as someone was spitting out a harsh curse, Kim Soo-hyun walked forward ‘this time again’. A clear flame erupted from his right hand as he placed it on the door. The light crept into the iron door and lightly scanned the entire area. Eventually, when the trembling of the tent became more intense, the light that illuminated the door suddenly went out. When I lightly pushed it, it split neatly in half, revealing the next space.

Kim Soo-hyun’s appearance was so calm and composed. In fact, although his ‘heart’s eye’ is one of his potential abilities, it seemed like no crisis could shake Kim Soo-hyun.

“Hmm… . Oh, is it here?”

Kim Soo-hyun muttered as he went inside. However, because it was a whisper, no one heard the details.

“Aren’t you coming in?”

After a while, Kim Soo-hyun goes inside and gestures for you to come in.

“… … .”

It felt very foreign to the viewer. It was as if I was watching a user in another world alone.

Finally, the Mercenary Clan members began to gradually become aware of themselves.

—————————= Review of the work ——————– ——-=

With this, we have passed the eighth ridge in the plan to conquer the bottomless pit of death. Actually, the purpose of this episode is not to conquer the ruins, but something else. Originally, it was planned to be a similar length to the Legend of the Glacier Expedition, but it was completely cut and drastically shortened. Since our goals were different, we wanted to focus on something other than the expedition.

Ah, the word ‘leading’ first means ‘seon (導)’, ‘leading’ (導), to stand in front of others and lead them, to take the lead and guide them. I would appreciate it if you could interpret it this way. This is not a typo. 🙂

The long holiday is over. Well, I hope all readers have a good night. Blow away the gloomy Monday sickness!
